The guides were extremely professional and spoke fantastic English. Everything was like clockwork!
We booked a whole day with Savannah and we did not know what to expect in all honesty. Chinga kept us updated before the day and checked to see if there was anything we needed help with. They even made accommodation for one of our group's dietary requirements of not eating bread. We felt very at home the home time and they took an interest in us as individuals and got to know us as persons which was great. Emma who took us on the boat cruise was on her induction but got stuck in with talking to us to make sure the whole group were having a great time. This was above our expectations!

We took 2 safaris and also visited Victoria Falls.
The entire trip was flawless. There was not one thing that was not done to perfection! From our arrival at the Victoria Falls Airport to transportation to and from each lodge, each leg was without a hitch. Especially helpful was being greeted as we flew out at the end of our trip because the Maun Airport was a bit chaotic and our flight to Cape Town was a fairly new one. The bush flights that were arranged by Mark on Mack Airand came off without a problem.

Keddy rocks !
I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro with 5 of my other friends. We choose Marangu route. Our guide was Keddy. He motivates a lot and I couldn't have made it to the top without my Spiritual leader's blessing's ( HDH Pramukh Swami Maharaj ) and Keddy. Keddy is an amazing guide, he is a jolly person and will always be motivate you. There should not to be any reason, why you should not climb Mt. Kilimanjaro with him or any other Safari tour.

Migada are knowledgeable, efficient, friendly, and are expert tour operators
I visited Arusha in May 2015, and I was amazed by Migada Adventures. Mike Ngoty and his team displayed proffesionalism, and were punctual for every event on our itinerary. they were also very warm and welcoming, and we felt as if we werehome.
The trip to Ngorongoro Crater was lovely, our driver, Mr. Ikamba, was very patient with us, he took pictures of us and with us, and he made sure that we spotted all the big 5 animals, as well as so many animals in the crater. The Landcruiser was clean, neat, very comfortable, and even had charging ports for our phones. Mr. Ikamba demonstrated that he is a seasoned tour guide, by taking us through breath taking views of the crater, as well as ensuring that we were able to see all the animals that he spotted.
To-date, this has been the most memorable safari i have ever undertaken, and if you havent used Migada Adventures, then you havent been on a safari.
I would highly recommend Migada, - they are awesome

Above and beyond all expectations. I feel like I have family in SA.
Elize and Johan are some of the most beautifully genuine people I have ever met. They went above and beyond in every aspect to make my experience authentic and magical. I am a 28-year-old single woman who took a solo 2-month trip around the world. South Africa was my last stop before returning back to the hustle and bustle of the real world. I was nervous to travel alone to South Africa and wanted to find a group who would make me feel safe but still have the knowledge and expertise to provide a great safari experience. I stumbled across Flight of the Eagle online and it was such a blessing. They not only coordinated their part of my journey, they helped me coordinate all of my travel in SA. For my convenience and safety, they picked me up in Hoedspruit after a week-long volunteer project. I immediately felt like I had met new lifelong friends. When booking the trip, I spoke of wanting an authentic SA experience and did they deliver! They cooked the most amazing South African braai’s in the evening with local fares and beverages. Elize even prepares snack bags of your favorite goodies for the drives. The accommodations were more than perfect. They stayed nearby and I always felt extremely safe. Neighboring Kudu, impala, warthogs, and zebras frequented the yard in the evenings. We spent the evenings talking about life and reminiscing over our sightings from the day. I had to pinch myself multiple times at night when I would lay in bed and hear lions roaring in the park.
When I look back on this trip I will never forget the safari experience that Flight of the Eagle provided. I had a game viewer to myself and a trip completely tailored to what I wanted to see. I saw more than most and learned even more. Johan has an uncanny knack for finding rare sightings. He understood that capturing the moments with my Canon were important to me and made every consideration to make sure I got the perfect shot. My list of sightings was above and beyond what I could have hoped for. I had more than 10 lion sightings including lions mating, on kills, on the move, and even a lion crossing a river. Some of my most favorite sightings included: wild dogs on a kill, 150+ elephants in a watering hole, black rhino, and of course the leopard sighting. As my last day approached I had seen everything but a leopard. I desperately wanted to get a glimpse of one but, I understood that they are so elusive and I would have to get lucky. As luck and Johan's persistence would have it, on my last day and in my last hour I got a sighting of a lifetime. Two gorgeous leopards went bounding across the rocks right in front of us. I think I screamed, cried, and danced around for the next 3 hours. Johan and his instincts are the only reason I was able to experience this amazing sighting. He made the decision to wait at this spot after most game viewers had left in disappointment. The photographs came out unreal and I will never forget the joy that we shared together. It was a perfect ending to a perfect week. They delivered me to the airport and actually walked me all the way to security. Tears were shed as I felt like I was leaving family.
I could not recommend Johan and Elize more. They are the kind of people you cherish for a lifetime.
If you are looking for a safe, authentic, and tailored experience Flight of the Eagle is for you. I am a bucket list traveler and rarely return to places already visited, but I will absolutely be back to SA to spend another amazing week with Johan and Elize. Thank you both for making my experience so memorable. I never expected to leave feeling like I had an SA family. You both are so special and always in my heart. I can't wait to see you again someday! xxxx

Wonderful Customized Experience!
I used Tanzania Expeditions to organize my Kilimanjaro climb and 3-day safari. Every part of the trip was wonderful from beginning to end and suited my small budget. It was a highly personalized and professional experience. I had to change the details of the trip last minute, and Justin was accommodating with my unique situation. The guides, porters, and cook who led me on the climb helped me have the experience of a lifetime. They encouraged me when the going was tough and made sure that everything I needed was taken care of with a smile and a "karibu!" I wouldn't have been able to make it to the summit without the support that our lead guide, also Justin, gave me.
The safari was a pleasant experience as well. My guide, Samson, was always on the lookout and on the radio to make sure that I would see as many animals as possible. When I got sick and didn't feel up to a whole day, he challenged himself to find all of the big five in a half day so that I could return to the lodge and rest.
All of the accommodations were top notch and the food kept me full and fueled up.
I could not recommend Tanzania Expeditions more!

The trip was full of wonders and kindness.
The pre-trip communication was beyond expectations. Our guide in Kenya was excellent. The accommodations were memorable.

Incredible trip! Fun, well-organised, and memorable.
We've just arrived back in London with huge smiles on our faces and a reel of incredible photos to remember our journey by.
While the accommodations and the activities were both fantastic, it was really our guide who made the trip. Our guide was kind, knowledgeable, thoughtful and a safe driver. It became a quick comfort to be picked up by him for early morning briefs and to see him waiting as we would return from our activities during the day.
ETrip is fantastic for its flexibility and customization when it comes to building an itinerary, and I really appreciate the ease with which we were able to communicate. We'll definitely recommend to any family or friends wishing to embark on an Africa trip in the future.

Great service, no frills
I am just back from a 7 day safari with my 8 year old son in northern Tanzania. Safari Multiways is a great little company. Romeo, the owner, has been patient and flexible in accommodating my requests and change of plans. He was able to provide a true tailor-made trip. All other TOs I contacted before choosing Safari Multiways were trying to dissuade us from going off the beaten track. Romeo had no trouble to include a hike down the Empakai crater, a walk in the Olduvai gorge, a night at the Ol Mesera tented camp - all absolutely fabulous spots that receive undeservedly low attention in package deals. His quote was by far the most competitive and the value for money was just great: we had a well maintained car, a nice and experienced multilingual driver guide (Laurence) and a choice between various styles of accommodation. If you are looking for luxury, this is not your company. But if you want a reliable and good quality local TO to which you are not just another number, it's a safe bet. Asante sana, we had a great safari! Hope to be back some day.
